Julius Peppers sure looked fast on that INT return.

Julius Peppers scored his first touchdown in five years when he intercepted a Christian Ponder pass in the second quarter and returned it 49 yards for the TD. The last time Peppers scored came on a 13-yard INT return vs. Arizona in 2009 while playing for Carolina

That run back of the INT was incredible. Peppers has always been called an athletic freak and that was a pretty good display of it. The old guy still has some in the tank. He started slow, but I think he has hit his stride.

That dude he outran was like a 4.3 40 guy at the combine. So much for 35 being old, what a freak. Maybe we should give him some redzone snaps at TE.

It was a great return and Peppers has been every bit as good as I had hoped he'd be, but lets stop with this talk about how he outran the guy lol. The player in pursuit of Peppers had to jump a falling teammate and then when he finally had a shot to tackle him another Packer was there to give him a very light block (but enough to keep him from making the play).

Use your head not your heart on this award, seriously,why does he get the award? His INT was a tipped passed(lucky?) Lattimores' INT was much more impressive

Peppers pick was just part of why he was so named. He really deliver a fine performance. I'm hoping that with this mini-bye that players will heal up be ready to face the Dolphins in Miami. Some players have not practiced , I hope that is to allow some to gain back their strength and vigor. Sometimes rest is the best medicine. Also, it gives others a chance to hone their skills package. 😄

Zero2Cool (1h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (1h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (1h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (1h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (11h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (11h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (11h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (12h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (13h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (13h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (13h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (13h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (13h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (13h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (13h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (14h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (14h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (14h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (14h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (14h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (14h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (14h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (14h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (14h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (14h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (14h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (14h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (14h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (15h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (15h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it
